What is Todo2?
As a developer, you know the cost of context switching. Planning in one app, researching in another, and coding in Cursor breaks your focus and slows you down. Todo2 is an AI-powered project manager built specifically for the Cursor IDE to solve this exact problem. It integrates intelligent planning, research, and task management directly into your coding environment, allowing you to maintain flow and significantly boost your productivity.
Key Features
Todo2 empowers you to manage projects at the speed of thought, without ever leaving your editor.
🤖 AI-Powered Project Planning: Describe your high-level goal, like "build a SaaS app with Next.js," and Todo2’s AI will research the latest industry patterns and automatically generate a structured project plan with actionable tasks. This turns a complex planning session into a simple, conversational command.
🔎 Automatic Research Integration: Before you write a single line of code for a task, Todo2 automatically searches for the most current information, including library versions, security best practices, and official documentation. Research findings are embedded directly with your tasks, ensuring you're always building with up-to-date knowledge.
⚡ Seamless In-Editor Task Management: Manage your entire project with natural language. Simply tell your Cursor AI, "Create a todo for implementing user auth," and it's instantly created and tracked. You can view, update, and manage tasks without ever touching your mouse or leaving your code.
🔒 Workspace Isolation & Local Data: Todo2 keeps your projects organized and secure. Each workspace maintains its own isolated todo list, stored in a local JSON file within your project directory. This means your data stays on your machine, giving you complete privacy and control.
How Todo2 Solves Your Problems:
Here’s how Todo2 transforms your daily workflow by eliminating friction and automating tedious work.
Starting a New Project from Scratch You need to build a new application. Instead of opening a browser and a separate notes app, you simply type into Cursor: "I need to build a Stripe-integrated e-commerce site using Remix." Todo2 gets to work, researching current best practices and generating a comprehensive task list, such as:
T-1: Set up Remix project with Vite,T-2: Integrate Stripe SDK for payments,T-3: Design product database schema with Prisma. You get a well-researched starting plan in seconds.Tackling a Complex Technical Task Your next task is to implement modern user authentication. You tell your AI, "Start working on authentication." Todo2 not only marks the task as "In Progress" but also populates it with its research findings: links to the latest NextAuth.js v5 documentation, key security considerations for OAuth 2.1, and relevant guides. All the information you need is right there, right when you need it.
Unique Advantages
A True AI-Native Workflow: Todo2 isn't just a task list inside your IDE; it's an active AI partner. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the AI has a deep understanding of your project's state, allowing it to intelligently assist with planning, research, and execution. This eliminates the gap between thinking and doing.
Developer-First Privacy and Control: In an era of cloud-based everything, Todo2 puts you back in control. With all data stored locally in a human-readable JSON file, your project plans are secure, private, and easy to integrate with version control systems like Git.
Conclusion:
Todo2 is more than a todo list; it’s a fundamental upgrade to your development workflow within Cursor. By embedding an intelligent project manager directly into your editor, it eliminates the constant context switching that drains your focus and productivity. If you're ready to stop managing tasks and start building with uninterrupted momentum, Todo2 provides the integrated experience you've been missing.
